I like the question "Which matters more in making a society successful: its laws or its language?"  I think it's laws.  Language has very little impact on a society's success, because it can change if it isn't good enough for what people want to do.  English brought in lots of French, German, Latin, and even Greek words for stuff it didn't already have words for.  If it hadn't, English would probably be not very great because we'd have a harder time expressing things.
